Hi I'm a newbie here, in a desperate search for help. I have a 1993 Corolla 1.3, which I bought used just over a year ago. I've just put in a new battery, but every time I connect the leads, the alarm goes off. Nothing I can do stops it. The local Toyota dealer advised me to press the red button on my key, but there isn't one (it's just a plain metal key). I've tried turning the ignition key with the alarm sounding, but the engine won't start. I've also tried various combinations of doors open/locked.
Please help -- I'm driving the neighbours mad! I'd be quite happy to disable the alarm if I knew how.
I think the alarm is the original Toyota one.
I'd be very grateful for advice.
Best, Kit
